Chinese New Year - 2926-4723! - Year of the [Yin] Wood Green Snake!

Chinese New Year [2025-4723] Year of the [Yin] Wood Green Snake! (15.1.2025)

15/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Wearing red is not limited to red clothes, red socks, and red belts, but can also be red jewellery, red mobile phone cases, as long as the items you carry with you are red.

There are two special days when wearing red is appropriate:

i) The first day of the first lunar month, during the Spring Festival, wearing red can add to the festive mood.

ii) The second is the beginning of Spring. As the beginning of the year, the beginning of Spring means the start of a new cycle.

Within China, there is a custom of “Avoiding Spring” (避春 – Bi Chun) at the beginning of Spring, that is, avoiding offending the numerous “Tai Sui” (太岁 – “Grand Aged”) gods that equate to the 12 stars opposite Jupiter (later expanded to 60 deities) – so people choose to wear red on this day in the hope of bringing good luck.

Everyone shapes their own destiny. Hard work, kindness and wise choices will help you succeed.

No matter what – I hope everyone will experience a smooth journey throughout the Year of the Snake (2025-4723) and welcome the arrival of boundless happiness and good luck!

PRC Places Trade with US Ahead of Solidarity with Cuba!

Cuba: Outgoing Biden Removes Socialist State from “Terrorist” List! (15.1.2025)

15/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

I thank all those who contributed to the decision announced today by the United States to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, where it should never have been and which, along with two other measures adopted, has had a high cost for the country and Cuban families .

It is a decision in the right direction, although it was taken late and with limited scope . The blockade and most of the extreme measures that were put in place since 2017 to suffocate the Cuban economy and cause shortages for our people remain in place .

Starbucks Declares “Buy or Leave” – as Israeli “War Crimes” Boycott Kicks-In! (15.1.2025)

15/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Below, as an example the BBC refers to the Israeli “Genocide” in Gaza as the Israeli-Gaza War” – as if Gaza is a country (rather than a small area of occupied Palestine) that benefits from equal political support and possesses an armed force equivalent to that being armed and funded by the US, UK, and EU! Ordinary Palestinians “volunteer” to resist the Israeli aggression whilst lightly armed, and for no pay. This article briefly mentions a “boycott” vaguely linked to the Israeli “Genocide” – but tries to negate this association by suggesting “price rises” are the reason Starbucks sales have plummeted since the beginning of the Israeli aggression of October 2023. In fact, photographs of IDF soldiers returning from murdering innocent Palestiian men, women, and children – and holding “free” Starbucks coffees – has caused worldwide revulsion!

The Zionists Are Committing Genocide in Gaza!

Gaza: “Fatah” or “Pseudo-Fatah” – That is the Question! (12.1.2025)

12/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This is how Zionist-fascism works. This is really an extension of how the US Intelligence Agencies function. Take reality, distort it, and then slowly bring the victims round to your way of thinking – predatory capitalism, liberal democracy, and extreme militarism. Be careful when you encounter pages such as this. Always take a step back and consider the situation. Take a breath and look at the situation from many different angles and perspectives. I am getting old now, and have a lifetime of experience to draw upon – but the young must be careful. Discerning correct dialectical trends from false dialectical trends is the entire point of a progressive education. The bourgeois know this and therefore continuously attempt to confuse matters and sully the water. Be careful and pick you way through life in a considered manner. Become leaders and guide others in the correct direction!

China: Scholars Discover Novel Quantum State of Matter! (11.1.2025)

11/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In the 1930s, physicists discovered superfluidity in liquid helium, a major milestone in advancing foundational research in quantum physics. This discovery spurred the development of low-temperature technologies, including laser cooling and dilution refrigeration, which have become critical tools in quantum simulation, quantum computing, and related disciplines.

This finding, titled “Counterflow superfluidity in a two-component Mott insulator,” was published in the internationally renowned academic journal Nature Physics on Wednesday.

Praised by reviewers, the work was described it as an “outstanding achievement in the field of quantum simulation.”

China: Beijing Blasts False Claims Regarding HMPV Infection! (11.1.2025)

11/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Speaking about the current influenza in China, Guo, the spokesman, said winter is usually the season with a higher frequency of respiratory infections in the Northern Hemisphere, and influenza viruses are one of the common pathogens.

“At the moment, the scale and intensity of infectious respiratory disease epidemics in China are lower than those of the same period last year,” Guo said.

He emphasized that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to the health of its own people and foreign nationals in China.

In addition to the country’s sentinel surveillance of a wide range of acute respiratory infectious diseases and the publication of the results, China’s experts in disease control have also introduced scientific protective measures on many occasions, he noted.

China also maintains close communication with the WHO to share timely information on respiratory diseases, he added.
